Drury isn't the only winner

Whenever our Cap'n gets any type of recognition from national media, much is made of Drury's impressive resume of championships - it's cool to see how successful Drury's teams have been, at so many different levels of play.

 

I just saw this stat tonight, thanks to tsn.ca, and thought it was interesting.

 

Sweden's Fredrik Modin joined hockey's Triple Gold Club of 17 players who have won Olympic gold, a world championship and a Stanley Cup.

Also in the club are:

Peter Forsberg

Slava Fetisov

Tomas Jonsson

Valeri Kamensky

Igor Larionov

Alexander Mogilny

Vladimir Malakhov

Alexei Gusarov

Joe Sakic

Brendan Shanahan

Rob Blake

Scott Niedermayer

Jaromir Jagr

Jiri Slegr.

 

I believe Drury is just an Olympic Gold away, right?

 

Here's hoping he gets at least one more Cup win before a possible Gold in 2010.

Does anybody else have Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" song running through their head right now? :lol:

Yeah, but how many of those guys have won Little League World Series? :)

 

Drury also has an NCAA title on his resume, something that I don't think any of the North Americans on that list have.

 

And here's betting Drury gets into that club before Mats Sundin, if Sundin finishes his career with the Loafs. :D
